Benteke’s first half brace was cancelled out by goals from Mee and Wood. Guehi then got the Eagles back in front before a second half equalizer from Cornet ensured a share of the spoils.
This point was significant as Palace reached 10th place on the table with 16 points from 12 matches; having not lost in their last 7 matches.
On the other hand, Aston Villa’s new era under Steven Gerrard began with a 2-0 home win over Brighton.
Watkins and Mings scored in the last 6 minutes of the game to register a 1st win after fou successive losses for Villa.
Gerrard aims to see more of the same when his side travel to face Palace in a tough fixture tomorrow.
With that win, Villa is in 15th place on the table having picked up 13 points from 12 matches.
Both sides last met in May last season where Crystal Palace won 3-2 at home in an engrossing clash.

Prediction: Crystal Palace 2-1 Aston Villa
We expect a highly competitive clash in this one given the recent form of the hosts as well as change in energy for Villa due to manager change.
Gerrard’s arrival has brought the buzz back to Villa and we foresee that in this clash as well from the crowd.
But given Palace’s good run and form of their strikers, the hosts should nick this one.
Players to watch out for: Benteke, Zaha, Watkins and Mings.
